Skeinforge, Repetier Firmware and Host, Initial Retract of approx 50mm

dbrown31dbrown31
in Repetier-Host
Hello,  I believe this is a Skeinforge configuration issue.  What I am experiencing on some prints is an initial retraction of approx. 50mm, meaning the filament is completely feed out of the nozzle and then hence part will not print.  I have recently switched to repetier firmware and host in order to use Skeinforge.  

I have set my start G-Code to the following including an G92 E0 to set the length of extrusion to 0 for the beginning.

G01 Z2; Moves Z Up
G28; Homes
M190 S100; Sets Bed Temp and waits to heat
M104 S235; Starts Heating and proceeds
G32 S2; Auto Levels
M109 S235; Waits
G92 E0 ;Sets extruder value to 0 for start


Below is the log of commands as I E stopped the printer just as I experienced the issue. One other theory as I have not seen a G-code stating for retract, could the feedrate be set to high that it actually retracts?

Any help or pointers is much apperciated.

Thank you!!

    The log shows nothing of value. It does not contain the heatup or any e moves. Did you close host to finish writing?

    Did not close the host.  It appears if extruder is not up to temp it retracts after it has been brought to temp with my M104 S235.

    Ok, there is a setting in firmware 
    /** \brief Temperature to retract filament when extruder is heating up. Overridden if EEPROM activated.
    */
    #define EXT0_WAIT_RETRACT_TEMP 150
    /** \brief Units (mm/inches) to retract filament when extruder is heating up. Overridden if EEPROM activated. Set
    to 0 to disable.
    */
    #define EXT0_WAIT_RETRACT_UNITS 0

    This is also set in eeprom. So I guess you have set this.
